Domaine Boursot visit tasting 2023

Boursot is an old domaine in Chambolle-Musigny, but in recent years has it made its mark in the Burgundy hierarchy.

The estate has quite a few interesting vineyards, Chambolle-Musigny Les Fuees being the most prominent.

The style is forward, quite vivid, some rather classical and slightly on the toasty side flavour wise.

They do however make some very interesting wines with amphoraes …. and this where the visit at the estate really starts to show hedonistic glory and quality. So follow my Vin d’emotion ratings.

The amphorae wines are truly exiting … and while the rest are also good or very good, they dont have the same hedonistic quality as the cuvees that include a good percentage of amphorae wines.

The Boursot history

The history of the Boursot family in Chambolle-Musigny dates back at least to 1550 to a certain Guillaume Boursot.

Domaine Boursot Savigny-les-Beaune 2023

The Savigny-les-Beaune is interesting – as it has 1/3 amphorae juice. This gives the wine a lovely airy style – quite tight, with fine airy acidity. This style suits the terroir well and gives the wine a beautiful hedonistic glow.

Domaine Boursot Vosne-Romanée Les Chalandins 2023

The Chalandins is on the border with 50% medium toasted oak. With the amphoraes it works and the relatively toasted oak does work well with the Vosne terroirs. Well done … producing a harmonious Vosne village …

Domaine Boursot Chambolle-Musigny 2023

The Chambolle village comes from the terroirs Les Nazoires Clos Les Echezeaux and Les Maladiere Only 33% new oak is used and this give the wine a gorgeous balance. Has 25% amphorae and this lifts the wine up in another class and quality in my view. Its airy, refined and elegant with a fantastic Chambolle expression. I love this wine.
